I think acting as a leader before having the title served me well and it's something I recommend to any IC aspiring to become a leader. You don't need permission, really!
Indeed, it's how you show that you are a good candidate for a lead role. Also important to always keep in mind -> we can all lead in our own ways, no matter the title, seniority or years of experience.
I want to remark couple of important lessons you folks wrote here:
- Never stop learning
- Change is a constant
- Empathy improves collaboration
Thanks for this email Gregor and Owain!
Great overview -> crucial things to always keep in mind. Glad the lessons mentioned resonated Marcos!

I'd also add: "be curious".
